Our professionally-trained community mediators reflect the diversity of our city. Mediations are held in neutral community spaces such as libraries, community centers, schools, and non-profit organizations where all participants feel safe and comfortable at a time and location convenient to all participants.

Mediation resolves conflicts that community and police may have about their interactions with each other. The mediation allows the community members and civilian to speak for themselves, hear what others have to say, and come to their own agreements about moving forward.

Mediation is confidential and creates a safe space where all can share authentically. Officers and civilians can think about their interaction, share how it made them feel, and be fully heard and understood in a non-judgmental way.
